The Smule Ocarina is a wind instrument designed for the\ iPhone, fully leveraging its wide array of technologies:\ microphone input (for breath input), multitouch (for\ fingering), accelerometer, real-time sound synthesis, high-performance graphics, GPS/location, and persistent data\ connection. \ In this mobile musical artifact, the\ interactions of the ancient flute-like instrument are both\ preserved and transformed via breath-control and\ multitouch finger-holes, while the onboard global\ positioning and persistent data connection provide the\ opportunity to create a new social experience, allowing\ the users of Ocarina to listen to one another. \ In this way,\ Ocarina is also a type of social instrument that enables a\ different, perhaps even magical, sense of global\ connectivity.
